Benito and Rangsiwan's Engagement Session

Speaking of Fresh (btw, thanks Rangsiwan for digging the new template:), Benito and Rangsiwan are straight up fresh. We had a fun time shooting their engagement all around town and found some great spots thanks to their diligently thinking about where and how they wanted to be captured. I think we might have walked at least 4 miles around downtown and it was well worth these images:)


Phong and Gracie's Family

I had a chance to meet up with newlyweds, Gracie and Phong over their holiday break to photograph their family and favorite pups. It was so good to see them all again and Gracie's mom's house was amazingly decked out for Christmas and the New Year. Thanks again for having me and see you guys in October:)

The Manabats

In addition to weddings, kids (two legged and four legged ones:), I have also been photographing wonderful families. Through a very kind referral from Rochelle (tobes, buster, & sasha's mom:), I had the fun time of photographing the Manabat family at their lovely home. It was a little chilly that day (by bay area standards;) but we managed to get some good images outdoors. My favorites were the few captured in about 4 minutes at a windy freezing beach near their home.

Tobes, Buster & Shasha

For a very sweet Christmas gift to her fiance, one of my wedding clients had me photograph her trio mini-aussie shepards. We took them to their home park and let them run and do a bunch of acrobatics while I snapped some action shots of them:) They reminded me of photographing little kids, particularly toddlers...a little unpredictable but surely adorable! Thanks Rochelle for the "play date":) Looking forward to shooting 'mom and dad' for their engagement and wedding!

Fresh

After some frustration with editing the xml of one of blogger's canned templates I've been using for some time, I decided to start fresh with a new template all together. A few tweaks here and there and I think I have one that suits wider screens and without all the border junk. Pictobrowser should be able to display image dimensions as designed.

Joseph and Jennifer

As the holiday season was kicking off, I had the great pleasure of meeting and photographing Joseph and Jennifer of San Diego, California. He's a marketing strategist and she's an officer in the Naval Nurse Corps. I told them if those professions don't work out they could always model for Benetton! We covered a lot of SF ground during their engagement session with me and had quite a fun time. Looking forward to their big day in August. Here are a few of my favorites:
